Angle A in right triangle ABC is formed by the hypotenuse of length 13 cm and a leg of length 5 cm. Find the exact values of: a. the other leg of the right triangle b. sin A c. cos A d. tan A

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a)12cm (b)5/13 (c)12/13 (d)5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) In a right triangle, the length of the sides are govered by the Pythagoras Theorem.

[tex]Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2[/tex]

In the diagram

Hypotenuse=13cm; Opposite(With respect to angle A)=5cm

[tex]13^2=5^2+Adjacent^2\\Adjacent^2=169-25=144\\Adjacent=\sqrt{144}=12cm[/tex]

(b)sin A =[tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} =\frac{5}{13}[/tex]

(c)cos A=[tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} =\frac{12}{13}[/tex]

(d)tan A=[tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent} =\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
